Also, I appreciate your comments regarding preop instructions and bleeding. When they surgically removed the large basal cell from my back last year they advised to stop my aspirin 10 days prior to surgery. However, my neurologist and cardiologist would only agree to a 5 day stoppage. As a result, they had to cauterize quite a bit during surgery to control the bleeding. I would think that this surgery would be more problematic since if they are going to do reconstruction they have to preserve blood flow to the area so that the flap has adequate blood flow post surgery. Definitely an issue to discuss during my consult.
